What’s very clear is that so much of the party’s leadership came of age during Watergate, the only real consequence for executive branch misconduct after World War 2.
They assume it just happens, that someone else will stand up and do it for them. Like it wasn’t an incredibly close run thing.

Durbin has failed to recognize or fight the Fed Soc wing for decades on judiciary. He should have retired or been removed from leadership in the 00s.
Kaine likely jumping on the grenade for Warner actually makes it worse. Or he might really be a part of the coward caucus, I don’t know.

Schumer has to go, that’s not negotiable. He can’t be the party leader—he’s very clearly announced that he doesn’t have the stomach for the stakes we’re playing at.
Playing for those stakes is baked in for the medium term future. You didn’t sign up for that, that’s fine.
Get out of the way.
